More quotes by Pierre Trudeau
You know you have a lot of impatience with reality as you see it when you're a young man and full of dynamism and strength and ideals and so on.
Pierre Trudeau
The next time you see Jesus Christ, ask Him what happened to the just society He promised 2,000 years ago.
Pierre Trudeau
There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What's done in private between adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code.
Pierre Trudeau
I think all of us, politicians and churchmen, should do our utmost to change the society so that there would be no need for violence.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe military force can be used to redress or change the balance of power in the world, but I think that that's always a losing operation if you're not trying to do it in a way which corresponds to the basic desires of the people on whom you are acting.
Pierre Trudeau
If I found in my own ranks that a certain number of guys wanted to cut my throat, I'd make sure that I cut their throats first.
Pierre Trudeau
Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.
Pierre Trudeau
In reality, though, the first thing to ask of history is that it should point out to us the paths of liberty. The great lesson to draw from revolutions is not that they devour humanity but rather that tyranny never fails to generate them.
Pierre Trudeau
Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.
Pierre Trudeau
If Canada is to survive, it can only survive in mutual respect and in love for one another.
Pierre Trudeau
I must say that Give Peace a Chance has always seemed to me to be sensible advice.
Pierre Trudeau
The most beautiful missionaries I saw were those who talked less about religion but who were very generous in their approach.
Pierre Trudeau
Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them.
Pierre Trudeau
I can see that in certain political situations you have to use force to overthrow police states.
Pierre Trudeau
I'm impatient not with the House of Commons as an institution, but with the way in which it is operated. This doesn't prove I don't believe in participatory democracy.
Pierre Trudeau
The community of man should be treated in the same way you would treat your community of brothers or fellow citizens.
Pierre Trudeau
Bilingualism is not an imposition on the citizens. The citizens can go on speaking one language or six languages, or no languages if they so choose. Bilingualism is an imposition on the state and not the citizens.
Pierre Trudeau
I believe in God, and I'm a Christian.
Pierre Trudeau
Canadians should realise when they are well off under the Monarchy. For the vast majority of Canadians, being a Monarchy is probably the only form of government acceptable to them. I have always been for parliamentary democracy and I think the institution of Monarchy with the Queen heading it all has served Canada well.
Pierre Trudeau
I've always lived in a democratic society.
